Whole-chromosome sorted painting probe libraries of the stone marten were used for FISH analyses of genomes of the sable and pine marten. The set of stone marten chromosome-specific painting probes has been described previously [39 (link),43 (link)]. Amplification and labeling of a plasmid containing 18S, 5.8S, and 28S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) probes for detecting NORs and a probe containing telomeric sequences have been described in detail earlier [44 (link)].
